Five years after a devastating war, teenage Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs is obsessed with finding who murdered her parents. When a string of ritual killings mirror the same dark magic that claimed them, Emma and her parabatai — her sworn battle-partner Julian Blackthorn — launch a secret investigation that drags them into faerie politics and a conspiracy stretching across Los Angeles. The catch: Shadowhunter law forbids parabatai from falling in love, and neither Emma nor Julian can ignore what is growing between them.
